Dental Crowns for Children in Sioux Falls, SD
At Children’s Dental Center in Sioux Falls, SD, we offer dental crowns to restore and protect your child’s damaged or decayed teeth. A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers the entire tooth, providing strength and restoring its appearance and function. Crowns are often recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but still healthy enough to be saved. Our experienced pediatric dental team uses high-quality materials to create durable crowns that blend seamlessly with your child’s natural teeth.
Why Your Child Might Need a Dental Crown
A dental crown is used to protect and strengthen a tooth that is damaged or weakened by decay, injury, or other factors. Your child may need a dental crown if they experience:
- Severe Tooth Decay: When a cavity is too large for a filling, a crown may be needed to protect the remaining tooth structure.
- Broken or Fractured Teeth: Crowns restore teeth that have been damaged by injury or wear.
- Post-Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal, a crown is often placed to restore and protect the treated tooth.
- Worn Down Teeth: Crowns can help restore teeth that have been worn down by grinding or other factors.
By placing a crown, we can save your child’s tooth, preventing the need for extraction and helping to maintain their natural smile.
Types of Dental Crowns for Children
At Children’s Dental Center in Sioux Falls, SD, we offer different types of crowns depending on your child’s specific needs:

- Zirconia Crowns: A strong and highly aesthetic option, zirconia crowns are ideal for restoring both primary and permanent teeth with a natural look.

Why are crowns necessary for baby teeth?
Crowns are necessary for baby teeth when there is significant decay or damage that cannot be repaired with fillings. They help preserve the tooth, maintain proper chewing function, and ensure the correct spacing for the permanent teeth. Using crowns on baby teeth can prevent more serious dental issues down the road.
How long do pediatric crowns last?
Pediatric crowns are designed to last until the baby tooth naturally falls out. Stainless steel crowns are highly durable and can withstand the wear and tear of chewing. Zirconia crowns are also long-lasting and maintain their appearance throughout their lifespan. Proper dental hygiene and regular check-ups at Children's Dental Center will help ensure the longevity of the crowns.
Is the crown placement procedure painful?
At Children's Dental Center, we prioritize your child’s comfort. The crown placement procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that your child feels no pain during the process. Our pediatric dentists are skilled at working with children to make the experience as stress-free as possible.
How should we care for my child's crowns?
Caring for your child’s crowns involves maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing twice a day and flossing daily. It’s also important to avoid sticky or hard foods that could dislodge the crown. Regular dental check-ups at Children's Dental Center will help monitor the condition of the crowns and overall dental health.
